Footage posted by HudPost shows the group kicking Staten Island's Charles Fieros — identified by authorities – on the ground outside the bus at Monticello and Jewett Avenue in Jersey City around 9:40 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17.
Fieros then appears to reach into his waistband and pull out a handgun. Rumors circulated that the driver stole the gun from the teens, however, police said that was not the case.
Bullets struck a 15-year-old boy who was in critical condition with gunshot wounds to the abdomen days later, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. The handgun was also found to be stolen, she added.
